Frequently Asked Question

Standard calibration is a process used in analytical chemistry to determine the relationship between the concentration of an analyte in a sample and the response of an analytical instrument to that analyte. A calibration curve is a graphical representation of this relationship, typically plotted as the response of the instrument (e.g., absorbance, fluorescence, etc.) on the y-axis against the concentration of the analyte on the x-axis.

The main difference between standard calibration and calibration curve is that standard calibration involves the preparation and analysis of a series of standards with known concentrations of the analyte, while calibration curve is the graphical representation of the relationship between the concentration of the analyte and the instrument response.

Standard calibration is used to determine the unknown concentration of an analyte in a sample by comparing the response of the instrument to the response of the standards. The calibration curve is then used tointerpolate the concentration of the analyte in the sample based on its response.

Standard calibration is a very important technique in analytical chemistry and is used in a wide variety of applications, including environmental monitoring, food safety, and clinical chemistry.
